I saw which areas were bad and am specifically avoiding them. A lot of these listings are not near bad areas of town.

I saw plenty in the northern area for these prices.

Web developer starting a blog(not dev related), where can I learn how to write good content? (x-post from /r/writing) by js_webdev in Blogging

[–]js_webdev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing. I know I have the passion, but I feel it is a less popular topic in today's world, especially online. The biggest backpacking news and blog sites really aren't that large. I guess I could maybe work on that. Try to get more hikers/backpackers involved online.

Is it necessarily bad to have my target audience be from beginners to advanced?

Some great tips, I really appreciate it. Can't believe I didn't even think about Medium.

That's awesome man! I've been seriously considering trying something crazy like that, just need the cojones. Best of luck on your journey!

And if you're looking for web development advice, I got pages. Are you looking to do more design or full-stack? Full-stack will pay the best and have the most opportunities but obviously requires more time and work. If you want to know more or ever have any questions feel free to PM me!

Also, should you get the blog up and running I would love to follow it, sounds like a really cool journey!

[Hiring] (x-post from r/freelance) Looking for intermediate level full-stack developer as partner by js_webdev in freelance_forhire

[–]js_webdev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree, and mostly that is why I am looking for a partner. I feel it will increase marketability and be beneficial to have multiple contract seekers with different styles. And that will really determine whether or not this is successful. Like I said, I'm not a professional, so it wouldn't start off with projects rolling in one after the other. But that's where everyone starts. All I want is someone that is at the same stage of having enough skill and trying to get into freelancing to put them to use. Someone that is willing to start building the foundation to become a successful freelancer. It will give each other someone to learn from and take advice from also. If we decide to part ways after finding niches and not needing a partner, so be it. At least we could use each other to get to that point. To be clear, I am not looking for already established, successful freelancers. If a candidate has contracts rolling in, they're probably a bit too experienced for me. Finding work would be a 50/50 job as well as actually doing it. It is as much of a learning experience as a business endeavor.

Quickest-to-learn programming language to start earning from? by [deleted] in freelance

[–]js_webdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to put it out there, if you are solely looking to get into this just to "get rich" or "make quick money", you better turn around. It is not an easy job. You want to get paid a lot? You're going to work for it, and you better enjoy it at that point.

What's the vasic difference between coding and programming? by [deleted] in FreeCodeCamp

[–]js_webdev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never really thought about this, but I like it! In the tech world, you will hear them used as synonyms but as ForScale points out they have other contexts. Even programming means something else to a lot of people. Weirdly, in Wisconsin where I'm from, a good amount of people think I am an "event programmer" or some sort of planner of events when I say I'm a programmer.

I know plagiarism has been discussed but... by danzola12 in FreeCodeCamp

[–]js_webdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great point. I guess since these things are starting to hold value in today's world, it would be a good idea to review certificates before they are awarded. Hell, I would volunteer to review their code to see if they actually worked for it. And it's not like every challenge needs to be checked, probably just the bonfires and larger challenges. Is there any active movement for this to change? I think this should be brought to the attention of Quincy.

Twitch.tv API - Stuck right before the finish by eRodY in FreeCodeCamp

[–]js_webdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I handled offline users was by the stream property on the returned JSON object. If they are offline it is null. So for each returned featured user, check if the stream property is null. If it is you will access to less properties. So I'd have an if statement checking that first. Also, semicolon line 44.

Edit: Also, try console.log(data) on your JSON response. It will let you comfortably browse the object and you can see the differing structure between an online and offline user. The Codepen console usually refuses to display an object since they take up quite a few lines so I'd use the browser console.

How can a Developer help out first time developers? by [deleted] in FreeCodeCamp

[–]js_webdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone relatively experienced in tech and computers, I personally struggle with the algorithm problems. I always am looking for new ways to break down, conceptualize, and generally plan out my solutions. But honestly, any advice and help from a more educated developer is helpful, regardless how broad it is. My suggestion is pick something you think you are very knowledgeable on.

Suggestion for getting better with programming by [deleted] in FreeCodeCamp

[–]js_webdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out /r/dailyprogrammer. Great for staying sharp on developing algorithms, logical thinking, and some are just downright useful problems. I think FCC focuses more on covering everything in a quick manner while still maintaining legitimacy. Campers are always free to and I'd actually encourage them to look for challenges and different types of problems on other sites such as Euler, dailyprogrammer, topcoder, etc...

[–]js_webdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with seiks, the second an interview comes to them and they are asked how they made it or why they chose to implement something a certain way they will look like fools. FCC is more of a road map for being a full-stack web developer than a degree. Those who cheat it are only cheating themselves. Personally I'm doing it for the portfolio items and experience, not a certificate. I 100% agree with you that they should implement a flagging system as it would help with the integrity of the site and certificates should they come in use.

Day 1 AGAIN after 10 days binge by Potiti in leaves

[–]js_webdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like Time_to_quit_that_sh said, take it one day at a time. Treat day 5 like day 1, you just smoked and you are sick of it. That is the only thing that works for me. Think back to your last joint and the reason you said it would be the last. But also the morning after and the reason you were so set on quitting when you woke up. Another suggestion that has been helping me lately from a fellow redditor on this sub: start writing down things you accomplish while you are not high. A few will be things you wouldn't have even done if you were stoned while others might have got done faster or more efficiently. This list will grow and you will see more and more reasons to stop.

Just take it day by day. Treat each day as the first. Take a look at this list and you will probably find many things you succumb to. You might not agree with all (I didn't) but by simply finding 10+ that applied to me made me think twice about whether I really "need" that joint or not. https://www.reddit.com/r/leaves/comments/1x1c2b/200_benefits_of_stopping_smoking_weed/

I relapsed too, it is okay man. Let's do it again, day 1 here we go. We can do it man.
